So deflation?

I've made quite a bit as well, because that is what I pay my financial advisor to do. Buy low, and sell high. Markets are always volatile, and there is always opportunity. I knocked a few years off of my retirement during COVID when the entire World was freaking out.

Chinese ships going to Iran's neighbors are allowed through. They are paying for their oil with Iran's neighbors, and are paying in dollars. If we blockade China completely, it would lead to conflict.
Well that’s interesting. Seems like a short term, temporary solution.
This assumes the US navy is monitoring which ports the ships are docking. And would intercede if Iranian ports were used.
Feels pretty certain that Chinese ships are going to dock at Iranian ports.

This is the way!

When that happens, the risk of water intrusion will grow exponentially over the next few months, with potential loss of huge volumes of permeable oil left unrecoverable. Ouch.
The rub is that it’s not a sustainable strategy.

My retirement thanks you.
It’s amazing how many people don’t understand your proven method of equity investing. It’s like they are incapable of learning anything that’s useful. I’m convinced their negative attitude will keep them poor forever.

I had not thought of that. Is that based on knowledge of Iran’s oil sands? I know that is true of some oil wells and not true of others.

A good number of them, but of those, Iran is far from their only $ source and Iran will continue to fund them after we leave. It's like playing whack-a-mole in the Middle East and Africa, let Israel and others deal with their shite.
If we're going to devote $ towards fighting terrorism, I'd much rather us find a way to go to war with the terroristic Mexican cartels immediately to our south, not the desert-dwellers thousands of miles away.

It is a constant game of whack a mole. The public doesn't really see most of it. Nothing to be gained from fighting the Mexicans as Trump already figured out with his large wall. A lot to be gained in the ME, especially since we have Venezauela and just announced a partnership with Indonesia. As is always the case, our reasons are not always the most "pure" in nature.

Covid was a worldwide pandemic originating in China, Iran is an action of our own doing.
If Trump shut down Wall St. for months for no reason, you'd still come back with "markets are unpredictable"

I don't think it is meant to be sustainable. It's a temporary situation.

Most markets are down this year.
The S&P Index is up 5% YTD. That’s the broadcast measure of health of the Financial Markets. I’m sure it will be up by at least 20 % by year’s end.
Our financial future looks great.

What index are you looking at? The Dow Jones total stock market index reached an all time high of 69,049 in January, we're at 68,953 as of 1:30 today. We're several hundred points above any high in October.
The market isn't just the S&P 500 or DJIA.

Investing based on emotion and/or political "hopes" is not smart.
sometimes I feel bad taking advantage of the panicans....... then a guy like aubie comes along focused on "controlling inflation" and I don't feel so bad.

Seems like a good buying opportunity.
